Home Alone Live Stream: How to Watch Online Without Cable

It’s that time of year when Christmas movies are an essential part of your daily routine, and when it comes to Christmas movies, “Home Alone” is right in the thick of the GOAT discussion. And fortunately, even if you don’t own the movie or don’t have cable, it’s still easy to watch a live stream on your computer, phone or other connected device.

This year, “Home Alone”–as well as “Home Alone 2” and “Home Alone 3”–is part of Starz’s on-demand library. And if you don’t have a Starz subscription, you can get both a live stream of the channel and access to its entire on-demand library by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV services. They all cost a monthly fee but come with various free trials and other deals, allowing you to watch plenty of Kevin McCallister at no cost:

If you’re still unsure, here’s a more complete rundown of what all these live streaming services provide, and how to sign up to start watching:

Amazon Prime

You will need subscriptions to two services to watch Starz’s content, and thus “Home Alone”: Amazon Prime, which gives you access to all of Amazon’s video library, and the Starz Channel add-on, which gives you access to all of Starz’s on-demand movies and TV shows, as well as live TV.

If you already have an Amazon Prime or Amazon Prime Video account, you can head here to sign up for the Starz add-on. The service costs $8.99 per month, and you’ll need to enter your payment information, but if you can cancel before seven days, you won’t be charged.

DirecTV Now

With DirecTV Now, the cheapest base package is “Live a Little” at $35 per month, while the Starz add-on is another $8 per month. Additionally, there are two potential deals when signing up: You can either get $25 off your first month when you enter promo code “BDAY2017”, or you can get a free Roku Streaming Stick when you prepay for one month. Here’s everything you need to know:

Price: Live a Little + Starz add-on: $43 per month | Just Right + Starz add-on: $58 per month | Go Big + Starz add-on: $68 per month | Gotta Have It + Starz add-on: $78 per month | Plus, if you enter the promo code “BDAY2017” before checking out, you can get $25 off your first month

Extras: Watch on two different devices at the same time; DVR is in Beta stage; free Roku Premiere Streaming Media Player if you prepay two months

How to Sign Up: Head to the DirecTV Now website and select “Start your free trial now.” After creating an account, select your channel package, select the Starz add-on, and add the free Roku if you want to prepay a month (this deal can’t be combined with the $25 off “BDAY2017” promotion). You’ll need to enter your payment information, but if you cancel your subscription within seven days of signing up, you won’t be charged.

How to Watch: If you want to watch on your computer, simply return to the DirecTV Now website and start watching on your browser. If you want to watch on your phone, tablet or other device, you can do so via the DirecTV Now app, which is free to download for the following devices: Amazon Fire TV or TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Android phones and tablets 4.4 and higher, and iPads and iPhones with iOS 9 and higher.
